A man has escaped from would-be armed robbers in central Dandenong just after midnight on Monday 24 June.
The 39-year-old was grabbed from behind by a group of four males as he walked along Stud Road near the Bruce Street intersection about 12.25am.
One of the robbers tried to take the man’s phone from his hand.
The man ran away, and was chased by two of the robbers.
He was felled by being pushed to the back. At this point, he noticed one of the attackers holding a knife while trying to stop him from fleeing.
The man managed to escape without injury, seeking refuge at a 7-11 petrol station at the corner of Clow Street and Stud Road.
The robbers were described as African appearance.
